This is a little bit of a tricky subject. But here is the truth - the more successful you are – the more people may not like you. And when I say “success” I don’t always mean money. Success comes in so many forms personally and professionally. However, when you achieve those perceived levels of “success” – here is the honest truth: there are people that will not like it, they will tear you down or they will slowly disappear from your life.
Here is what I tell my kids about this – first off, “the haters gonna hate, hate, hate” (yes, that is a Taylor Swift reference) ☺ But, guess what? That is on them – not you.
On the flip side – remember the view we are seeing of everyone through social media is just the highlight reel – it’s never the full story. At the end of the day, some people come into our lives for a reason, a season or a lifetime!
